I've stayed at this property about 6 times over the last dozen years or so. Usually over a period of time, I tend to notice some wear and tear and need for refurbishment in most properties, but this one has been exceptionally well-maintained.

As drbridges stated, it may be a "your typical Hilton Resort", but in my opinion that sells this property a bit short unless you're used to the Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton's and the like. Even at that, I've stayed at Ritz Carlton's that had nothing on this property..

The setting here is very, very nice. The design is beautiful. The grounds are exceptionally well-manicured and the overall, the property is superbly maintained and very clean. It's a very comfortable atmosphere to be in. Great views of the ocean from the dining room and pool areas.

The room decor is very pleasing with a large bathroom with separate, roomy shower and tub. Lots of room. Nice linens and towels. Comfortable beds. Great view if you're on the ocean side.

I was only to have breakfast but the buffet was certainly two or three notches above the typical hotel buffet. Excellent and very gracious service.

I think a lot of the Caribbean resorts that I've stayed at could learn a lot from this property in terms of customer service and staff training. Everyone that I encountered here was beyond pleasant, helpful and friendly.

I could not pick about the coffee being a little less hot that it should be, but that's about all I can think of from my brief stay.

If the. Hilton level of resorts is to your liking and you want to go to Mexico where it's quite safe, clean and beautiful, I don't see how you will be disappointed in this property.

Room Tip: Don't skimp. Get one on the ocean side.

I found the staff to be friendly, professional and very accommodating. The grounds were very beautiful and well maintained. I had a full ocean view junior suite that was fabulous. There was some construction going on that was a little annoying, but not over the top. Nice pool and very comfortable lounge chairs. Dining was good… both breakfast and well their very nice Italian restaurant.

It is a nice hotel and very nice beach. But it is not the best value for money in Cabo. The spa services are way overpriced even with their special deals. The decor in the public areas is not at all the 5*. The service was good. The best part was the beach. It was empty most of the time and very few people would dare to swim in the ocean. It was great, often I would feel that it was my private beach ! This hotel should cost below USD200 to justify it value for money. Overall it is a very nice property.

Your typical Hilton Resort. My only quip was that there was no kid-free pools here. We went over Thanksgiving in 2013, and ever single pool was full of kids. Kind of hard to relax. Other than that, wonderful stay, great staff, and nice clean hotel.

We had high expectations as we visited the Hilton Los Cabos in September - mostly to see the turtles. As many of you know, the Hilton Los Cabos is a proud sponsor of conservation efforts for the turtles in Mexico, and it was primarily this reason for us to go there. An amazing opportunity to see, and release turtles was something we couldn’t resist. We booked for seven days, and left after six!

The communication within the hotel, and via the concierges that we spoke to regarding the viewing of the turtles was, in a word, horrible. This led to a level of frustration and disappointment on a property that is (for most that aren’t turtle watching/releasing) a good property.

The Good:

If you are looking for a very nice resort that has a great pool, this could be your place. With two large pools, and an ocean just a few steps away, the grounds and resort are a great place to relax. We certainly see the benefits of this property and recognize why it has overall, very good ratings.

If you wish to eat off property at all, we highly recommend that you rent a car. We rented a car and found it to be extremely inexpensive, and easy to get around. Without it – you will either be locked into the resort or will spend USD $40-$50 to go and return to dinner offsite. The hotel has free parking and with a single major highway it is impossible to get lost.

The Bad:

We are Diamond members of Hilton, and were given breakfast certificates – this is good and part of the benefits of staying in a Hilton for a lot of nights. At this resort, the breakfast is a “continental” breakfast. On day one, I decided to get a bagel, and ….wait….cream cheese. As it turns out, the bagel is part of the continental breakfast (as we were told) but the cream cheese is NOT. Now, if you want to pay the incremental USD $8 for the upgrade, you too can have cream cheese with your bagel. Hmmm….

Note to management – if you can’t offer your diamond members a full breakfast, at least structure one that makes some sense to “most” of us.

The Ugly:

We are probably not like most of the guests here – so this may not matter to many of you, and with the turtle “season” over at this point – I suspect most who read this will not care. But we went to see and release the turtles – something that is highlighted on the Hilton web site – and a significant part of the reason we were at this specific property (vs others in the area).

We arrived on a Saturday, and immediately went to the Concierge desk to specifically ask about turtles and the release program. Pablo works hard – and I don’t want to blame the Concierge staff – but they did not know when or where turtles were going to be released and as far as we can tell – it is not the staff at the Concierge desk – it is a systemic problem that the resort is not communicating.

So, we went to town and had dinner ….. only to find out the next day that the turtle release was in fact held, on Saturday, in front of the Hilton! Apparently (although it is impossible to truly confirm) Saturday WAS in fact the “day” for Hilton if there were turtles to be released.

The next day, we went to the Concierge desk, and again asked about the turtles – and the staff called some numbers and declared “there won’t be any turtles released today”. Well…..having been burned the day before, we headed to the Hilton beach, and discovered a person “digging” out the turtle nests (see photos). We followed that person and surprise, surprise, it turns out that there WAS a turtle release that day. It is clear that for reasons that are logical, the release is NOT going to be in the same location every night. However, even when we KNEW that there were going to be turtles released (because we watched them dug up) the Hilton and their concierge desk had NO idea where things were going to happen. One night, we drove to another hotel where we were told that they were going to be released – only to find out that this was not true.

This ugly pattern repeated itself to the point where we were so frustrated with the Hilton staff/communication, we gave up – and left. In our travels, we have never really been so frustrated with a property that we just didn’t want to be there anymore.

It is truly sad – this is a very nice resort, and they could be doing SO MUCH MORE with the turtle program. We were not the only ones there to watch turtles, and we were fortunate to be able to participate in two releases during our six nights there. But the pain and agony of finding out what was going on, and poor Pablo and his team – they really are TRYING to do the right thing – but nobody is communicating.

This feature of the hotel, and the beachfront that they “give up” to incubate the eggs makes it so that the hotel should be taking FULL advantage of this unique (or relatively rare) feature. There could be such an amazing program wrapped around the turtle program, and when the person was working the nests there was always a number of people gathered around to watch. I blame the management team of the hotel for failure to execute and take advantage of this asset.

One star I hardly ever give, and the "physical" resort generally doesn’t deserve it – but we were so frustrated and disappointed that it truly has left a bad taste in our mouth. With about 10 years of Diamond status (and 60+ nights last year alone) at Hilton, we have come to expect much better. We told the front desk when we left that we were frustrated – but I am not sure that message was received (communication again?) - you are most welcome to contact us.

Note to management – you are missing a great opportunity and from the activity and photos you can see that there are a significant number of guests who did and wanted to participate every night. Pull together a good educational program and COMMUNCIATE to your staff what is going on (and SHARE it with all of your guests) and the resort will benefit significantly. Your staff will claim that they don't control the turtle release - and this may be true - but you can certainly find out what is going on and communicate it in a much better fashion.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this thorough review of your stay. We are pleased that you enjoyed the physical beauty of the resort and are sure future and returning guests will appreciate your tip in regards to transportation. We might also add that, for a significantly nominal fee, there is a public transportation stop right across the street from the resort, which many of our guests utilize during their stay.

Also, we appreciate your notes on our Diamond member breakfast offerings and apologize that you felt your status was not recognized in this area, and others.

Lastly, we are quite disturbed to hear of the situation you describe regarding the Turtle Release Program. We are very proud to have co-founded the Los Cabos Turtle Protection Network and to partner with state authorities, federal agencies and other hotels to further this cause. In 2013 Biologists amended new rules to the turtle protection process. We are sorry that we did not communicate properly, and we understand your disappointment and frustration. Now that we have had time to work under these new rules we will do a much better job in communicating to all our guests as we invite them to share this amazing turtle release experience.

We would welcome the opportunity to further discuss these matters if you would please contact the resort directly at enjoy.loscabos@hilton.com. We look forward to receiving your communication and making things right. We thank you for your loyal Hilton patronage and would be honored to have you back.

This was our first time to Cabo. We went Jan. 3-7, 2014. From the moment we landed until we were in our room at the Hilton was 55 mins. When we arrived we were offered a margarita and handed our keys and hotel information. We noticed that the resort was pretty full our 1st day due to all the extra lounge chairs they had around the property. But the rest of our days were not as busy and not as many chairs put out. We had a room on the 2nd floor, but it was full ocean front. It turned out to be beautiful! This hotel is on a very long, beautiful beach. We walked for hours in BOTH directions and never got to the end. We also saw whales right from our balcony. Food and drink were not cheap, but they were made well. Food was good and drinks were made perfectly. Everyone worked very hard and were always very nice.We did an ATV tour with Cabo San Lucas Tours and whale watching with Whale Watch Cabo. Both were excellent and I would highly recommend these companies.It took us 2 days to find the deli they have on property. This is on the 1st floor by the quiet pool. They have everything in there and was a daily trip for us.We did take a taxi into Cabo, $25 each way. We were going to do the public bus (right across the street), but decided the extra $ was worth our time to just get there.There is a company, right on the beach, that rents water fun things. They will even set up fishing and other site seeing boat trips, and have them pick you up right there on the beach.We received breakfast voucher, but they do charge 25 peso just to use this voucher, and it's only the continental breakfast. You can pay a upgrade to receive the full buffet. I believe it was around $12 to do this.It is amazing how much work they do at night. We would sit on our balcony and watch them move chairs around, take all cushions and pillows off the chairs, clean up the beach chairs, then every morning they will bring everything back out. We will definitely be back!!
